Please read the following before answering the next question.
Student X/Student Y
Student X
Student X’s passion is for her to graduate with a perfect GPA. For each assignment or test, she is motivated by her desire to get an A on it. When she is assigned an essay, for instance, her purpose for writing it is to get an A on it. She is never satisfied with a B. Her conduct in school is exemplary because she knows misbehavior would jeopardize her goal. Most teachers see her as a model student. The pride she takes in herself is based on the grades on her report cards.
Student Y
Student Y’s passion is to acquire as much knowledge and as many skills as she can. She tries to get the most out of each assignment. When she has to write an essay, she is motivated by trying to produce a high quality essay, and she is never satisfied when she fails to produce one. She sees her grades simply as feedback on the quality of the work she does rather than the reason for doing the work. Her conduct is pretty good, but she rubs some teachers the wrong way when she expresses a viewpoint different from them in class discussions. Other teachers admire her confidence and individuality. The pride she takes in herself is based on her hard work and her belief that she has her priorities straight.
The above are extreme cases. A student who just wanted a 70, for example, would also be a student X.
Describe yourself. Student X is motivated entirely by grades. Student Y is motivated entirely by the desire to learn.
